The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

After spending half a day, they moved all the things in the house, returned the keys to the landlord, and returned the house they had rented for two years with the landlord.On the morning of the next day, Qiao Minglang was going to take his children back to their hometown, and Zhou Xing was going back with them.

The two sister-in-laws stayed in the city with their children to help, and they will not go back with them for the time being.

Several cousins ​​and brother-in-laws are now working in the new store, and no one is free to go back with them.

"Be careful on the road. Give us a call when you get home." Qiao Mingshan wanted to stay here to look after the store, and couldn't leave for the time being.They have opened several more stores in the past two years. He has to make several deliveries every day, and there are a lot of things to deal with. Now he doesn't have much time to stay in the store.

They have been really busy these past few years, so busy that they don't even have time to go home.

Fortunately, the wife is here with the child. No matter how busy she is during the day, she can still see her and the child when she returns home at night.As for the younger brothers who are not yet married, he thinks it's time to urge them to find a partner, but those single boys don't understand the happiness of wives and children!They are not in a hurry at all, but they are the most anxious to become his big brother.

"Well, I got it, I'll call you when I get back." Qiao Minglang told his cousins ​​and sisters-in-law that if Zhou Xing went back with them, he didn't need his cousin to send them to the station.

When the children came, they only brought two changes of clothes. When they went back, they turned into big bags and small bags. They had new clothes, new shoes and new schoolbags bought by their elder brother, and the twins also had new clothes. small toy.

A group of people got into the car going back to their small town, and the car left the urban area and headed back in the direction of their small town.

The two twins lie on the window staring at the moving scenery outside. The children rarely go out and feel novel about the outside world.But this novelty was soon overwhelmed by drowsiness, and he fell asleep in the arms of his two big brothers.

"Brother, won't the sister-in-law of the first hall and the second sister-in-law go back with us?" Third sister Qiao, who was sitting in front, turned her head and asked her elder brother.

"Well, sister-in-law and the others won't go back, stay here with cousin and the others." Qiao Minglang held his sleeping brother in his arms, and asked the younger sister in front to sit down, so as not to accidentally fall off, "What's the matter?" Let's talk when we get home."

Third Sister Qiao let out an oh, but sat down obediently.

When they got out of the car, the children were all asleep. Qiao Minglang shook the sleeping children awake, reminded them that they had arrived in the town, carried their things, and led a group of children out of the car.

"Brother, I'll get it." Qiao Mingcheng felt that he was a big boy now, a young adult who could help the family with work, so he snatched the big and small bags and hung them on his body.

Qiao Minglang was holding a child in one hand and a big bag in the other, but he didn't mind their children helping out with the work, "Let's go, let's go to Uncle and the others first."

Zhou Xing was holding a little girl firmly in one hand, with a big bag on his back and a small bag in his hand. It was not difficult for him to carry so many things.

"Bao, Bao." Qiao Xiaomei sat firmly on her elder brother's arm, looked down at the walking twin brother, and showed off on it.

Qiao Xiaobao looked up at his brother, and he also wanted to hug him.

"Brother is carrying things, so he can't hold you. You are a boy, walk by yourself." Qiao Minglang turned his head and looked helplessly, "Let's go faster." The sun is too hot now, There was no sun when they went out in the morning, so they forgot to bring two umbrellas to go out.

A few people walked to their stall under the sun, and all the adults in the family set up a stall here to do business.

"I'm back."

Huang Yan saw her nephews and nieces came back, she smiled, and reached out to take the things that the two girls were carrying and put them aside, "You guys who just arrived? I was busy just now, I I also forgot to ask your fifth uncle to pick you up."

"Come on, you all have a drink first."

"Thank you Aunt Wu." Qiao Minglang took the water, let the two children drink first, and said, "We will arrive there in a few steps, so you don't need to trouble Uncle Wu to pick us up every time."

"What are you talking about? It's troublesome. Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?" Huang Yan weighed Xiao Bao'er in her arms and said with a smile, "Oh, it seems a little heavier. It’s still a little white, it seems that the water outside supports people, and they all turn white after going outside.”

This child was raised in their house before, and the children were also close to her. If the nephews hadn't built another house and moved back to live in their own house, she would have wanted several children to live in their house.

Qiao Xiaobao giggled, wrapped her arms around Auntie's neck, rubbed her cheeks, and called out "Auntie" sweetly.

When their parents left, the two twins were still young, not yet old enough to remember.In the past two years, the child has grown up a little before he starts to remember things.

However, in their impression, they grew up with their two older sisters and older brothers behind their backs, and their aunts and cousins ​​treated them well.Their biological parents did not leave a deep impression in their memory, so even without their parents, the two children did not cry to find their father and mother, and they cried to find their brothers and sisters.

"We came back after eating. They ate something in the car, so they shouldn't be hungry." Qiao Minglang greeted the elders in the family.

"Aren't they used to going there in the jungle and the mountains? Are you crying to come back?" Seeing that his daughter-in-law and grandchildren did not come back together, Uncle Qiao was concerned about the two grandchildren, and asked about the grandchildren's arrival in the city. Still not used to it.

"Seeing that we are coming back today, the kid in Jungle is going to make a fuss and come back with us." Qiao Minglang said with a smile: "It's good to have my cousin and sister-in-law and Jungle over there. Uncle, how about you?" Don't worry, it's okay to go with us to see them in a few days."

"Hehe, that kid. I'll go and see them when I'm free." Mentioning the two grandchildren, the smile on Uncle Qiao's face deepened by two points.

He reached out and patted his nephew's shoulder, and Uncle Qiao said, "There's nothing to do here, you go back first, your father knows that you are coming back today, so he should be waiting for you at home. After we finish selling things here, we will come back later." Go back together."

They all knew that their nephew was admitted to university, and they were all happy for their nephew.

"Fifth, you drive them back."

"Hey, come here." Qiao Wubo was looking at the stall on the other side. He had just weighed the guests and collected the money when he heard the big brother calling him.

He took out a key from his pocket, and after making sure he had the key with him, he called his nephew and niece to get the things into the car, and said to his wife, "I'll take them back first, and come back later."

"Okay, drive slowly, you send them back first." Huang Yan shouted.

***

Hearing the sound of the car, Grandpa Qiao came out of the house and stood at the gate of the yard looking out.

Qiao Minglang and the others saw their grandfather and aunt waiting there as soon as they got out of the car. He raised his hand and patted the backs of the children's heads, "Look, who is standing there?"

"Grandpa, uncle." A group of children hadn't seen their uncle's family and grandpa for a long time, and now they saw someone, and they were much more enthusiastic than usual.

"Hey, you're all back. Do you want to sit in the house?" Mrs. Qiao just came back from selling things, and the things in the yard haven't been cleaned up yet, and she didn't see her daughter-in-law and grandchildren coming back with her.

However, they had discussed this matter earlier, so they didn't see their daughter-in-law coming back with their grandchildren. Although she was a little disappointed, Mrs. Qiao didn't mean to blame her daughter-in-law.

Seeing her nephews come back, she also asked if her daughter-in-law and grandchildren were comfortable there.

"Let's take our things home first, and come back later." Qiao Minglang went over to say hello to his grandfather and auntie, and said a few words about his sister-in-law and cousins ​​over there.

Knowing that her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren are doing well there, Mrs. Qiao felt relieved.

Seeing that the grandchildren had just come back and hadn't even gone back to the house, Grandpa Qiao waved his hand and said, "Go home first, and come back later, Grandpa is at home."

"Don't cook at night, you can come to the aunt's house for dinner." Aunt Qiao shouted.

"Hey, okay, we'll come over later." Qiao Minglang replied, and took his younger brothers and sisters home.Zhou Xing followed behind with his things in his hands.

No one lived in the house for a month, presumably the aunt helped them clean the house, and there was no dust in the house, it was clean.

After putting down the things, everyone tidied up the things they brought back, wiped off their sweat, took a sip of water, sat down and rested for a while, Qiao Minglang let the children stay at home, and he went to the aunt's house , went back not long after.

In the evening they had dinner at the aunt's house.

At this time in the evening, the adults all came back. After dinner, everyone sat and talked together. The adults meant to hold a teacher appreciation banquet for him, set up a few tables at home, and invite relatives and friends to come over for a meal.

"That's right, the first college student from our old Qiao's family is not going to have a good time and treat everyone to a meal."

"It's been a long time since our family had a happy event. Minglang's admission to university is a big happy event for our family. We have to handle it well."

"..."

Their old Qiao's family had their first college student, not to mention the old man was happy, but the uncles and wives were also happy.

For their old Qiao's family, if the first college student is born, the second and third will be born. After another ten years, their grandson will grow up, and maybe he will be admitted to university to study.People of their generation are illiterate, and it is good enough to raise a group of children. They are old, and they all pin their hopes on the next generation.

Qiao Minglang himself felt that there was no need for that, but seeing his grandfather and uncles were happy, it was not easy for him to refute their good intentions.Finally, after discussing with the adults, they decided to make two tables of meals. As usual, they just sit together and have a simple meal.

The adults saw that the child didn't want to make a big deal, so we discussed it and agreed to do it according to the child's wishes.
